Found fruiting on the underside of a recently fallen willow tree. I'm a total amateur, but after running through a key and referencing some photos online, my guess is wood ear. Not confident enough to toss it in a soup, but I've gotta be close, right? Quite large, beautiful. What you guys think?
Wood ear? Auricularia aricula?
